A transverse harmonic wave on a string is described by $$y(x,t) = 3.0 sin ( 36t + 0.018x + {\pi \over 4})$$ where x and are in cm and in sec. The positive direction of is from left to right.

What is the shortest distance between two successive crests in the wave?

1. 1.3 m

2. 3.0 m

3. 2.5 m

4. 3.5 m
